The New York Chase was a semi-successful mission undertaken by Dominic Toretto and Cipher, and Dominic Toretto's Crew to steal a nuclear football from the Russian Minister of Defence and an attempt to stop Dom from undertaking this.
Background[]
After infiltrating Mr. Nobody's home base, Deckard Shaw learns that Dominic Toretto and Cipher plan to travel to New York City for unknown reasons. The crew follow them there along with Little Nobody and arrive at the Toy Shop where they are given access to the cars that are held there.
Dom arrives in New York and causes a diversion with the engine in his 1971 Plymouth GTX where he takes cover from God's Eye and leaves to meet with Magdalene Shaw where he arranges to fake Deckard's death so he can infiltrate Cipher's plane and rescue his son. Dom returns to his car, and Cipher uses God's Eye to track the Russian Minister of Defence in his limousine.
Chase[]
After Cipher and her team hacked hundreds of cars in the city to self drive and trap the limousine. Dom threatened the Minister and his assistant with igniting the fuel tank unless they handed over the nuclear briefcase to Dom. As Dom fled in his car, he was cornered by Letty Ortiz in her Corvette Stingray, Luke Hobbs, Roman Pearce in his Bentley Continental, Tej Parker in his 2016 Mercedes AMG GT S, Deckard Shaw in Jaguar F-Type and Little Nobody in his Subaru BRZ. Dom causes a diversion and is able to escape, with the gang chasing him.
Dom causes scaffolding to fall and stops Little Nobody from following him. Hobbs smashes through it whilst the others cut through a park. When Dom tries to escape, Letty and Tej harpoon their cars to his with the others soon following. They stretch Dom out and attempt to stop him from leaving. Dom's attempt to escape as throttled as he destroys his own car whilst trying to escape.
Deckard and Letty chase after him, and Dom seemingly shoots and kills Deckard. Letty grabs the nuclear football but is stopped by Connor Rhodes and she eventually surrenders the codes and Dom and Rhodes leave.
Aftermath[]
When Dom returns to Cipher's plane, she expresses disappointment that he was going to let Letty take the codes. As “punishment”, she lets Rhodes execute Elena Neves. The gang then learn that Cipher is planning to infiltrate a military base in Vladovin and they follow him. Additionally, due to the nature of the incident happening on U.S. territory, the American and Russian governments temporarily severed diplomatic relations with each other.
